The Indigenous Network is a community-based, non-profit, registered charity whose mission is to provide programs and services to address the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical needs of the Urban Indigenous population of Mississauga and neighbouring regions. Through a supportive social network and culturally appropriate programs and services, Indigenous peoples will have the opportunity to develop and strengthen a sense of community in Mississauga.

The Indigenous Network is located on the Treaty Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe Nation, Huron Wendat and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. We also acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis, Inuit and other global Indigenous Peoples who call Peel Region their home.
